Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitising
Conclusions:
Classification as an dermal sensitizer is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

A Magnusson and Kligman Guinea-Pig Maximization test was conducted on 30 guinea pigs with Shellsol AB. Following a preliminary irritation test, 20 guinea pigs were treated by intradermal injection (0.05% (w/v) vehicle/Shellsol AB) to induce sensitization and then further sensitized by dermal application of 50.0% (w/v) Shellsol AB in corn oil. Guinea Pigs were challenged by topical application (25.0% (w/v) Shellsol AB in corn oil). No indication of sensitization was noted.

Classification as a dermal sensitizer is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
